HIGH MANURiNG,
Why the Sensible Farmer Will Not Allow q
Depletion of His Soil.

How many persons appreciate what
is meant by high manuring? 1t means
simply, fully feeding the soil The an
imal on short commons makes little
progress toward ripe fairness. 1t is the
same with the soil. The plant food must
be in excess of the full requirements
of the crop to be raised. with this diff
ference, as in the case of the feeding OF
animals. If something is left in the
soil not required by the crop, the excess
remains in the soil ready for another
crop. If the soil lacks some necessary
constituent, it may not be able to prop
erly assimilate the other constituents
contained in the soil. In feeding ami
mails, if the food does not contain all
the constituents necessary to the animal
economy, such as may be assimilated is
taken up, the balance is lost.
There is this to say about manuring
However little may be given, it helps,
and here the value is identical as be-
tween plants and animals, but only by
high manuring-the soil containing an
excess of food all needed by the crop
can the best and most economical results
be reached. This is fully shown in gar
dening, as practiced by professionals.
The gardener manures to the extreme
He raises crops year by year of the
heaviest kind. He perhaps does not
practice rotation, by which succeed
ing crop may utilize that rejected by a
former crop. At length the garden
soil becomes sick. 1t no longer pro-
duces as the gardener expects. Whyp
The soil has been robbed year by year
of certain constituents to the exclusion
of others. Here is where a lesson may
be learned. Rotation of crops allows
pabulum not used by one crop to be
taken by another. 1t is question
worthy of careful study.
A virgin soil may contain all the con-
stituents of plant food in abundance.
In time the richest soil will be depleted.
The sensible way is never to allow u
soil to become depleted. 1t costs too
much to recuperate it.-F'arna, Field
and StOcbnldn.

A Young Inventor.

Carlyle says that you can tell how a
man would do any thing from the way
he sings. However this may be, it is
certainly true in nine cases out of ten
that you can tell what sort of man a
boy will make from seeing him at play,
when obliged to stay indoors, without
a companion. Sir William Armstrong,
the artillery engineer, was a delicate
boy, and one winter, when six years
old, was confined to the house for
months. To amuse himself, he set sew
eral old spinning-wheels in motion by
means of weights descending on strings
from top to bottom of the house over
the staircase ratings. Friends and
relatives bought mechanical toys for
the little prisoner, which he at once
pulled to pieces. They attributed the
habit to child's passion for destroy
ing things, not supposing that the little
their construction. 1t was not salts
factory to him to see Jack" jump up
in the box when the lid was raised; he
would know what made Jack" spring
up.
The boy passed into young manhood,
and his father, seeing nothing eXtraor-
binary in his sons mechanical gifts,
put him into a lawyers Office, where
he remained, as student and junior
partner, for more than thirteen years.
One day, while casting a fish-line near
rustic mill, the water-wheel attracted
his attention, because it was fed by d
rill above, which descended from u
height of nearly a hundred feet. See
ing that only twenty feet of the descent
were utilized, he pondered the ques-
ton: why not use the whole descent
of the stream as Il motive powerP"
A swinging lamp in a church sug-
gested to Calico the pendulum as d
means of measuring time, and the
young lawyer saw in the descending
rill power for a hydraulic crane. He
invented one, and it attracted the at
tention of leading engineers. The new
crane, however, met with strong oppo-
sition. Mr.. Hartley, the engineer of
the Liverpool Docks, poo-poohed at it
for long time, refusing to examine it.
He was one of those conservative men
who think that what is useful is old,
and what is new is worthless.-Y ouMS

Give the Fowls Exercise.

Scratching is about the only exer-
else, and as exercise is necessary for
good health, it can readily be seen that
the hen must be given the right to
scratch. As it is now little out of
season for flowers and garden beds. a
substitute can be provided by using cut
straw, clover, hay, dry leaves, etc. In
this litter throw a few oats, little
wheat, barley, buckwheat, and OCCASION
ally few sunhower seeds. Do not
throw down all these grains at once,
butvary them in order to have a change.
If the grains disappear, it is not be-
cause the hens can not find them, for
they will pick out every one. This
mode OF feeding is better than all the
condition powders eyer made, and in
place OF wearing the poultry ont pre-
matmely, will build them up strong,
healthy and profitable 2rGi,5c Farmer.

Good clover hay is well adapted to
